Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

When Gordon was practicing the strong sweep over and over again in the master's studio, Anshir and Fengying also came in front of Jessica.

Seeing people coming, Jessica put down the quill in her hand, stood up behind the imposing desk, and led them to the sofa to sit down.

Perhaps because of the background investigation and the relief, Jessica behaved much more kindly than when they first met.

She glanced at Fengying, smiled and said: "It seems that the nutritionist is doing a good job, little sister Fengying has become much rounder."

Fengying: "."

Is it really that obvious!

"What would you two like to drink, honey milk? And black tea?"

"Cough, don't be in a hurry for a drink."

Anshir cleared his throat, he didn't plan to go around in circles with his sister Jessica, "I just went to ask my mother, you are obviously very distressed recently, why didn't you come to me?"

Jessica's movements obviously faltered. She held her forehead and let out a long sigh, "Ha. Really, mother, I clearly emphasized not to say anything."

An Xier snorted coldly, "Oh, actually, my mother didn't tell me, but I didn't expect you to be so deceitful. Tell me, what happened to the chamber of commerce and need to hire a hunter for help?"

The wry smile on Jessica's face became more obvious.

She was almost ten years older than Anshir. In her subconscious mind, Anshir was still the rebellious boy who sneaked to her to borrow money to buy a house before he ran away from home.

But he didn't notice that he was already in his twenties at this time, and he was no longer the pouting kid back then.

She crossed her legs and put her fingers crossed on her knees. After a moment of silence, she said, "Well, anyway, you are also a hunter who travels everywhere, so at least you can offer some advice."

Anshir held out a palm, motioning for Jessica to continue.

"The family caravan has a batch of goods that needs to be delivered to Jieyun Village in the Western Continent before the end of the year. This business is very important and directly related to whether our chamber of commerce can open up sales in the Western Continent."

Anshir nodded.

No wonder my father cared so much about the information from the Western Continent, and he was fooling Fengying to ask questions.

Jessica held up two fingers, "From East Duoluma to Jieyun Village in the West Continent, there are currently two routes available.

One is to cross the inland sea to the port of Metabetat, turn overland, and go westward to the city of Minergard, and then take a boat from the port of Minergard to cross the ocean and arrive at Jieyun Village.

This route took about two months, was the fastest route, and was the original route. "

An Xier nodded lightly, Fengying also nodded seriously.

This time the little girl is not pretending to agree, she has really walked this road, at least half of it.

"The second is to go south after setting off from the East Doruma Port, land on the land bridge, and then continue to take a boat to the south until Tangia Port. After resupply, go around the mainland and continue to go west by sea to reach the Western Continent and cross the ice. Islands, land near Yanhuo Village, then head north by land, cross Feiye Fortress, until you reach Jieyun Village."

The corner of Anshir's mouth twitched, "This road is too far, even if most of the journey is at sea, it will take at least three to four months."

"Ma Sui Ma Sui Ma Sui!" Feng Ying on the side even jumped up from the sofa directly, and the dialect came out. (Just treat it as a dialect, you can’t ‘wait for a clam’)

"Everything else is fine. It's too scary to go from Yanhuo Village to Jieyun Village by land, right? The distance is not the key. Do you know how many mountains and dangerous hunting grounds you have to cross?

Even if you hire a whole team of hunters, you can't protect the caravan! "Fengying waved her little hand.

As a native of the Western Continent, what she said was very convincing.

Jessica's face looked like she was constipated. After holding back for a long time, she said weakly: "Of course we also know that this route is unreasonable, but the problem is that the sea area near Jieyun Village has been blocked."

"What does it mean that the sea area is blocked?" Anshir frowned and asked.

"You don't know yet, half a month ago, the entire northern coast of the Western Continent was shrouded in an inexplicable storm, and ordinary ships could not get through it at all.

The scope of the storm's influence is extremely wide, and it can even affect the waters near Minagard Port to a certain extent. Therefore, we had to abandon the original route and find a new route. "

"Eh?"

Fengying asked with a question mark on her face, "Will there be long-term storms in the north? I didn't encounter them when I went to Minagarde by boat."

"Is there a map?" Anshir asked.

"Of course." Jessica ordered the waiter to fetch the map and spread it out on the tea table in front of them.

Anshir's gaze was firmly locked on the north of the Western Continent.

Is it strange that a storm that suddenly appeared and existed for a long time, covering a wide area, covering the entire sea area?

Of course it's strange.

For ordinary people, they may only mutter "respect this amazing nature".

But in the eyes of hunters who know some inside information, abnormal weather and natural disasters often indicate the existence of another thing.

— Gu Long.

As Gordon's partner and friend, the former did not hide from him the experience of encountering Gu Long.

Unusual storm, north of the Western Continent.

Putting these two pieces of information together seems to be nothing, but to those who know the existence of "Tianjin Disaster Land", it may have another meaning.

Anshir took a deep breath to calm down.

Some things must never be disclosed to ordinary people, unless you want to be invited to drink tea by the dark night of the guild.

But this does not prevent him from making reminders in another way.

"Give up on the first route. The existence of storms is too much of a threat to heavy merchant ships. This is no longer a 'gamble' level of danger, but to let the caravan die."

Jessica agrees with Anshir's statement, "So we are preparing for the second route.

The other parts are relatively easy to deal with. There are chambers of commerce branches in the cities we pass through, and supplies are very convenient. The biggest trouble now is the problem of hiring hunters to escort. "

"Which area is the problem specifically?"

Jessica rubbed her forehead and said, "I went to the Hunter's Gathering to discuss with the guild director, and this second route can be roughly divided into two parts.

More than 80% of the journey ahead is basically by sea. We will walk along the coastline without any danger.

The focus is on the land route from Yanhuo Village to Jieyun Village after landing on the Western Continent.

Just like little sister Fengying said, the guild director also said that this journey is extremely dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is close to death. "

"It's a big deal to spend a lot of money to hire a team of high-ranking hunters. The last thing our family needs is money?" Anshir suggested.

Jessica smiled wryly, "To put it lightly, hire a team of high-ranking hunters to escort the caravan for three to four months?

Regardless of the sky-high commission, it is worth spending as much as possible to open up business routes.

The problem is that no high-level hunters are willing to pick them up. It takes half a year to come and go. Do you think there are many high-level hunters? Are you usually free? Or are you short of money? "

An Xier thought for a while, and made another suggestion, "Since the first half of the sea route is not dangerous, is it possible to hire hunters to escort after reaching Yanhuo Village?

In this way, most of the money can be saved, and the task time is not so long. "

Now it's Fengying's turn to shake her head, "Yanhuo Village doesn't have that many powerful hunters to send." (No, you have—!)

"That's really troublesome." An Xier rubbed his forehead in exactly the same way as his sister.

He finally knew why Jessica was so distressed before.

"Huh? Maybe it can be done like this!" Fengying suddenly raised her little hand.

Both Jessica and Anshir turned to her.

Feng Ying stretched out her finger and pressed the location of Yanhuo Village on the map, "We can also split the itinerary of the West Continent. After replenishing at Yanhuo Village, don't rush to turn overland and continue along the east coast of the West Continent. sailing.

In this way, you can avoid the most dangerous abandoned shrine, Feiye Fortress, and a series of dangerous mountains after that. "

The eyes of the siblings followed Fengying's fingers all the way.

"The caravan landed in this bay, which is covered by the continental shelf and should not be affected by the storm.

If we turn overland from here, we only need to cross the stream and dense forest on the south side of Jieyun Village to reach Jieyun Village!

In this case, the safety of the caravan can be protected without the help of high-ranking hunters. "

Jessica and Anshir exchanged glances.

Although Fengying proposed this route, there are still many details that need to be resolved urgently.

For example, confirm the hydrological conditions of that bay, such as how to send the vehicles and livestock necessary for land transportation to the bay.

But generally speaking.

feasible!

Ps. Some readers are more concerned. I emphasize that the map released in this chapter is not an official map. It is because the official map has not been updated after the 2nd series. The exact location of Jieyun Village is unknown, so I used this fan map and have The "Western Continent" was mentioned, and the official location of Jieyun Village has not been marked yet.

As for the part of the old continent, I have been using the official map.

This chapter is quite crucial. Old hunters who have played p3 should also know that the plot of p3 is about to unfold.

Well, actually it won’t be that fast, it will unfold slowly.

There are two points to say in advance, I will hide the protagonist (player) of p3, otherwise there will be nothing about the characters in this book.

What's more, this plot will be based on the plot of p3, but it will not be copied, it will be boring, please don't get entangled in such things as "this place is different from the plot"~
